Image correction apparatus and image correction method for correcting image blur using a mobile vector
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image correction apparatus, comprising:
- a camera which continuously captures images having image content regarding a view from a vehicle;
mobile vector calculation means of calculating a mobile vector that corresponds to an object in the image content, based on a position of the object in images continuously captured by said camera; and
blurring correction means of defining, using the mobile vector calculated by said mobile vector calculation means, an image region for correcting image blurring and correcting blurring of the defined region of the image using the mobile vector, whereinthe blurring correction means defines the direction of the mobile vector as a direction for correcting the blurring and defines the width for correcting the blurring by calculating the width of the blurring by multiplying the mobile vector and an exposure time divided by a timing interval by which the mobile vector was calculated.

Abstract
An image correction apparatus which corrects blurring generated by the traveling of a vehicle in the captured image, including: a camera which captures an image of front of a vehicle continuously; mobile vector calculation means of calculating a mobile vector in an image of each object based on a position of an object in each image continuously captured by the camera; and blurring correction means of correcting blurring of the image captured by the camera using the mobile vector calculated by the mobile vector calculation means.

15. An image correction method, comprising:
-
a step of continuously capturing by a camera images having image content regarding a view from a vehicle; a mobile vector calculation step of calculating a mobile vector that corresponds to an object in the image content based on a position of the object in images continuously captured by the camera; a blurring correction step of defining, using the mobile vector calculated by said mobile vector calculation step, an image region for correcting image blurring and correcting blurring of the defined region of the image using the mobile vector, wherein the blurring correction means defines the direction of the mobile vector as a direction for correcting the blurring and defines the width for correcting the blurring by calculating the width of the blurring by multiplying the mobile vector and an exposure time divided by a timing interval by which the mobile vector was calculated. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28)
